Drug and alcohol detox

This initial phase involves a comprehensive assessment conducted by clinical professionals at a detox center. The team evaluates patients to get an understanding of their physical and psychological health. This includes their history of substance use, current state of acute intoxication, potential for withdrawal, and any co-existing mental health issues.

This detailed assessment allows the clinical team to determine the appropriate level of detox care needed and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Following the evaluation, detox for drug and alcohol addiction moves into the stabilization phase. During this stage, a detox center implements an individualized treatment plan based on your substance abuse history and whether you have co-occurring mental health disorders. This typically includes some therapy and primarily medication-assisted treatment to manage symptoms of withdrawal and keep you as comfortable as possible. The team keeps a close watch on your progress and adjusts your treatment plan to give you the best chance at lasting recovery.

The final component of the detox process focuses on preparing the patient for entry into longer-term substance abuse treatment programs. Detox addresses primarily the physical aspects of addiction and is rarely sufficient on its own to sustain long-term recovery. The underlying psychological and social factors contributing to substance use must also be addressed.

Therefore, a key goal of detox at treatment centers is to motivate and prepare clients for the next phase of their drug and alcohol rehab. This could involve short-term inpatient treatment, long-term residential care, intensive outpatient programs, or standard outpatient care.

Inpatient rehab provides individuals with a structured environment where they can focus on their recovery without the distractions or triggers of their daily lives. Inpatient treatment typically includes a combination of individual therapy, group psychotherapy sessions, and possibly family counseling.

These programs incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), peer support, and art therapy. These treatments deal with the underlying causes of addiction in a holistic way that supports a person’s healing process.

Inpatient drug rehab is suitable for those with severe addictions or co-occurring mental health disorders – like opioid addiction coupled with bipolar disorder, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, or trauma.

Dual diagnosis treatment is an important component of addiction treatment. This is because many individuals struggling with substance use disorders also face concurrent mental health challenges. Conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and others can have a significant influence on addiction.

These conditions can hinder an individual’s recovery if both issues are not addressed simultaneously. We ensure we treat all conditions a person is dealing with at our detox facility or inpatient treatment center.

For those who have completed detox or inpatient rehab, outpatient treatment offers a structured yet flexible approach to continued recovery. This option allows individuals to receive ongoing therapy and support while maintaining their daily responsibilities, such as work, school, or family obligations. Outpatient programs vary in intensity and can include:

Partial hospitalization treatment programs (PHP) serve as a middle ground between inpatient rehab and standard outpatient care. Participants in PHP spend several hours each day, typically five to seven days a week, at a treatment facility. They engage in intensive therapy sessions all day but return home or to a sober living environment at night. This option is ideal for individuals who need a lot of support on their recovery journey but have a stable living situation.

Intensive outpatient treatment programs (IOP) allow for a more flexible treatment schedule. It can accommodate work, school, or family commitments. Participants in IOP attend therapy sessions such as individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy several times a week. They focus on relapse prevention and coping strategies. In some cases, medication management is provided.

The least intensive option is standard outpatient care. This involves attending therapy sessions once or twice a week at addiction treatment centers. This level of care is often used as a step-down from more intensive programs such as inpatient drug rehab. It can also be helpful for individuals with milder forms of addiction and mental health issues.

Regardless of the path chosen, the most important factor is that individuals receive professional help and support. Treatment programs will include individual and group therapy, family therapy, and relapse prevention education. Aftercare planning can also support lasting recovery.
